What's Changed

• Bug fix: we changed how we order the events while fetching them for a session to be ordered based on updated_at instead of their database id - by @deepansh96 in #255
• We are now using Django permissions to restrict access to plios instead of restricting access while the queryset for a Plio is created to be able to show the correct error message on the frontend (access denied instead of 404) - by @dalmia in #253
• Added support for Cypress integration in our frontend CI and made the respective changes in this repo to enable that - by @rathorevaibhav in #259
• Removed a welcome SMS that we were sending to users signing up through their phone as it was increasing our messaging cost by quite a lot - by @dalmia in #251

Full Changelog: v0.4...v0.4.1

Monthly release for May

Enhancements

• #171 #172 We tightened the security of Plio by restricting a lot of APIs that were earlier open for anyone who had their access token. This is a major security update.

Bug Fixes

Weekly release for May

Features

• #170 added a README to describe the contents of the data dump for each plio
• #166 we have switched the authentication provider connecting the frontend to plio-analytics from Auth0 to AWS cognito so that we remain within the AWS ecosystem and because Auth0 is almost 4 times more expensive.
• #164 an email is now triggered everytime the status of any user is changed from waitlist to approved through the REST API

Bugs

• #168 The retention array for a new user-plio session is now created on the backend instead of the frontend as creating an empty array on the frontend sometimes injected null values
